Social and political criticisms
Rizal PHL May 17, 2013
This is an intriguing story about the local election. The followers simply called it Game of the Generals for want of a better term.
l. A former general ran against a very young incumbent; this would be his 5th term, one of the longest serving mayor
2. The general floated the idea that for one reason or another, the incumbent would worry: how to protest the election; or how much would be the votes would be advantage of the general.
3. The general did not campaign much because of his connection with the ruling party.
4. On the election day, the general withdrew all his watchers from the precincts, had them fed and simply watched from the outside of precincts.
5. At the wee hours of the day after the election, the general lodged his complaint with the Comelec, claiming the local results were very different from the Comelec main results; he said he was winning at Comelec main. He local machines, it was alleged could be hacked but not Comelec machines.
6. The following day afterwards, the general filed formal complaint with the Comelec for a recount.
7. Comelec asked him to pay several millions for a recount fee which he promptly paid.
He claimed that if the incumbent does not agree to recount, he would be proclaimed the mayor since he won at the Comelec central.
The followers could not understand what happened or how it happened?
The hacking of the PCOS machine could have been done either way. Is the Comelec computer main really unhackable?
Who hacked (cheated who)?
It is a game of generals.
